For my second project I decided to make a folder to hold favourite Christmas photos
I started with a piece of A 4 Kraft card and cut it at 6". I then scored 5 1/2" from each side which left me with a spine that ensured space for some embellishments and pockets to hold photo mats on the inside:
I lined both the front and the back first with a square of vanilla card stock then with one of the papers and then embellished it with a strip of lace, a strip of the paper, edged with a Martha Stewart punch, a die cut cut from Kraft card and some elements from the paper collection and a piece of ribbon from my stash, as shown on the photo.
I lined the inside again with vanilla card stock and then made pockets as shown from the papers. The Tim Holtz Tattered Doily on the left pocket was cut from one of the papers, as was the strip on the right side. Most of the other bits are elements from the collection.
Here are a couple of close up photos:
Next I cut some double photo mats from vanilla card stock to fit inside the pockets. I lined just the front of them with further pieces of the papers for photo mats and left the inside blank, either for further photos or journalling. Here you can see the photo mats inside the pockets.
I added some Vintage Photo Distress ink around the edges to give it some definition and that was it. Quick , easy and a fun way to keep some favourite Christmas photos in a handy place together.
Well, that's it from me for this time, but don't forget to come back on Monday when Hels will start to share her projects for the final week of showcasing these beautiful papers and stamps.
